Dissertação (Mestrado Profissional em Educação Física em Rede Nacional) - Centro de Ciências da Saúde, Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, Natal, 2023.https://repositorio.ufrn.br/handle/123456789/57276Activities related to Body Awareness Gymnastics are little discussed and explored in Physical Education classes in Elementary School, although they can promote self-knowledge and provide critical reflections about the current economic-social model. Therefore, the objective of this research was to reflect on a pedagogical experience materialized in Elementary School II, along with the theme of Body Awareness Gymnastics. The research, applied in nature with a qualitative approach, was based on a set of eleven descriptive-exploratory experience reports with two ninth-grade classes in a public school in Fortaleza, Ceará. Of the 71 students enrolled in the two classes, 32 agreed to have their perceptions, understandings, productions and suggestions shared in this research. A field diary of the teacher-researcher, photographic records, weekly improvement forms, plus a set of questionnaires answered by the students, were used as data collection instruments. These were analyzed according to Minayo's (2007) proposal for thematic categorization with pre-analysis, exploration of the material, treatment of results, inference and interpretation of information. Among the various challenges observed in the experience, the following stand out: the lack of a quiet, private place with a mild temperature; materials specific to some gymnastics; textbook for the student to support discussions in class and in home activities; the teacher's tension overload due to the absence of managers for regular school dynamics; lack of continued training on the topic offered by the school; insufficient time for pedagogical planning; the insecurity of the teacher-researcher given her little experience with some of the gymnastics; the noise arising from the agitation of students; disinterest; the bullying; difficulties concentrating; nervousness; extreme concerns about the judgment of colleagues and family issues. The students' menstrual period also proved to be a relevant obstacle, whether due to pain or fear of creating a disconcerting situation. And, finally, the existence of a noisy and unwelcoming family and/or community environment that made it difficult to carry out, along with some activities proposed at home. Some potentialities found were: the interest shown when carrying out different activities, rarely or never carried out before, relating to everyday matters; the proposition of different ways of assessing knowledge; the development of perception of bodily evolutions and understanding of how to better relate to each other; the use of audiovisual and textual resources available free of charge on the internet; the teacher-student relationship that facilitated the sharing of ways of thinking, preferences, difficulties, experiences and knowledge; and, finally, family support along with bodily practices outside of school, which stimulated self-knowledge and provided emotional moments. At the end of this work, I understood how important it is to engage and deepen other teachers in discussing the topic, so that better school experiences can be developed in the future.Acesso AbertoGinásticas de conscientização corporalEducação física escolarEnsino fundamentalmasterThesisCNPQ::CIENCIAS EXATAS E DA TERRA::FISICA
